Following right-wing “provocateur” and white supremacist Milo Yiannopoulos’ controversial appearance on Real Time, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) booked the Breitbart editor as keynote speaker. This news caused some raised eyebrows, which have now arched in disgust after an audio tape surfaced of Yiannopoulos endorsing pedophilia.

Yiannopoulos, who was recently credentialed for a White House presidential briefing, once penned a Breitbart column to blame the left for defending pedophilia. Now, this newly released audio reveals him endorsing the practice (and praising priests who molest underage boys). In the clip, he describes a disturbing scenario, which prompts an unnamed person to remark, “It sounds like Catholic priest molestation to me.”

He receives this response from Yiannopoulos: “But you know what? I’m grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him.” Here’s more of what he said about pedophilia:

“We get hung up on this sort of child abuse stuff to the point where we are heavily policing consensual adults … In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men — the sort of ‘coming of age’ relationship — those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can’t speak to their parents.”

The full version of Yiannopoulos’ comments can be heard in this audio clip, which — clearly — is disturbing material:

MILO ALSO SAID THAT 13 and 28 year olds (like him and a drag queen were) can have perfectly consensual sex! START AT 55:40! and he repeats this at 58:30. Check out the rest of the podcast though, he says other creepy stuff ..[www.youtube.com]

He’s basically saying that sex with a 13 year old boy is ok if that young boy is sexually mature. Sans BJ joke, he was pretty clear and serious on that warped justification. He’s well-spoken and can use his eloquence to captivate his audience, but he still says some fucked up shit. I wouldn’t say he’s a pedo, but what he’s saying is coming from some weird debauched place in his head that he either experienced or fantasizes about.

Lol I *knew* when I saw this article that there would be some fucking asshole doing the “ACTUALLY, ” routine.

He is technically correct. To the extent that almost no one knows specifically what pedophilia means when they say it, we can take that they mean “underage sex” when they do say it as probably a fair assessment, yes?

He is someone we should all demonize, and yet here are soft skulls like @Caio Novais de Oliveira fucking defending this substanceless walking marketing scam.

Seriously, have a look in the mirror man. You’re on the internet defending Milo Yiannopoulos and and you want people to be cool with it.

I hate to defend this douche, but I get what he’s trying to say about cross generational relationships. He’s just saying it poorly and it’s coming off wrong. But he’s not endorsing child molestation. And his comment about the priest and being grateful is clearly a joke. The kind of joke, however, you make to friends in private, not on a radio show in public. And while he might not of meant it seriously, he can go fuck himself for getting mad at people about it. When you’re a professional troll like he is and you purposely irk people and say controversial things just to be controversial, you forfeit the benefit of the doubt. So if you’re going to say asinine offensive things, meaning it or not, taken out of context or not, the consequences are on you because you created the monster in the first place

There are quite a few relationships in the gay community between very young men and older men, which I believe he’s referring to. He was most likely in one and is using his own experience to try and explain it. And looking through the lens of today, he looks back on those relationships, probably when he was 13 or so, fondly.

I’m not saying he’s right, he’s not, it’s wrong, end of story. But it’s not as simple as saying He’s saying it’s ok to go and fuck 13 year olds

Example: On Shameless, Ian was engaging in multiple sexual relationships with much older men when he was in high school. That doesn’t make those guys not creepy, or make or not wrong or not illegal, but Ian doesn’t look back on them as him being molested, just his exploration of his sexuality. Granted that’s a fictional show but it’s accurate to a lot of young gay men. And it sounds like Milo was one of them, and that’s the stuff he’s referring to. Again, it’s not ok, and like I said, when you’re bombastic and offensive, you put a target on yourself, but it’s not as simple as he’s supporting pedophilia

I also agree with your video and the point it, and you, are making, which I stated in my inital comment. He said it and he’s an idiot for saying it than getting mad that people think he’s a pedophile. When you draw tons of negative attention to yourself than say extremely bombastic things, don’t be surprised when things turn ugly.

Well gee, I guess if you call a 28-year old man fucking a 13-year old boy a “cross-generational relationship”, then it doesn’t sound all that bad! Staubachlvr, you realize that you’re spouting NAMBLA propaganda right now, right? “Cross generational relationship” is exactly how a NAMBLA freak would describe themselves fucking a young boy. We don’t need you to tell us where Milo is coming from. All I’ve seen on display here is the typical pedophile excuses peddled by NAMBLA: “some kids are more mature than others and can handle sex at a young age, it’s different with boys than girls, etc.” Also being molested as a child yourself is not an excuse for supporting it as an adult.
It’s really not surprising to me at all that the Alt-Right is infested with pedophiles and pedophile defenders. 4Chan became one of the top internet bastions of support for Trump and it is also infamous for being a haven for child porn and pedophiles. They have a lot to look up to in Trump, a man who admitted that he would barge in on Miss Teen USA contestants in their dressing rooms hoping to catch them in various states of undress (contestants are as young as 14 years old).

@ak3647 He’s not supporting or spouting pedophilia propaganda. More or less he’s just trying to get into the psychology of this seriously conflicted guy. I can’t stand Milo or what he stands for as much as the next person, but it’s obvious that whatever has happened to him in the past has turned him into what he is today. The guy gets off on being a sociopathic troll and that’s a pretty sad way to live life. It ain’t easy bringing up touchy subjects like that on this kind of forum considering the outrage that it will bring, but clearly whatever happened to this guy in the past has fucked him up for the rest of his life, and his thoughts on pedophilia is pretty disturbing. It’s not really fair to cast @Staubachlvr as a member of Team Pedo when it wasn’t his intention. Just to reiterate, pedophilia is bad, very bad. Please don’t lump me in with the pedo apologists #whydon’tyouhaveaseatrightoverthere

Honestly, either embrace him completely, abhor, or gtfo. You dickless cretins running in here to give us some neckbeard “Um, actually” nonsense about the true defintion of “pedophilia” when he literally spells out explicit advocacy for fucking 13 year olds when he feels they’re capable.

It’s a belief in nothing, save maybe making stupid libtards mad. Nihilism is going to eat us alive if we don’t thoroughly put garbage like this in it’s place.

And while I’m rolling, anyone that still takes Bill Maher seriously after that display on Friday is a drooling fucking moron.

@bsmemorial45 You roll like a trash truck in the fast lane with 4 flat tires and the horn blaring.
You rail about nihilism while spewing venom like a viper. And don’t twist it. I’m not even talking about the kid fucker.
It’s en vogue to bash Bill Maher on the internet. But you do realize he says certain things to create controversy? Always has. A good part of the time he is right. His percentage is higher than most. But who do you agree with 100% of the time? If you say anyone but yourself you are a fucking moron. But by your Libtard comment, your problems with Maher run deeper than you are letting on, don’t they?

@Bitterpeace I’ve read that post seriously like five times now and I think you’re getting on me for not liking Bill Maher?

I’ve been involved in and a fan of comedy for over 20 years. No one takes him seriously. Go watch his stand-up sometimes. He’s an intellectual lightweight and I’m not dumb enough to evaluate people on some scorecard of agreement over the years.

Also–what on God’s green fucking earth does that last sentence even mean?

Seriously–you’re punching out of your league here. You’re a numbskull. I’m not.

@Bitterpeace Just to be clear here–Bill Maher, the guy that sells himself as some political savvy truth-teller, *chose* to have Milo on for no reason other than stirring up attention (there is no public interest in introducing the hateful bullshit this guy plays out, unlike there would be for, say, Steve Bannon), and when people objected, promised it would be a way for this hateful asshole to be outed to the world.

Then, Mr. Politically Savvy Truth-Teller got played by a glorified internet troll into providing cover and absolutely zero challenge to his rhetoric by playing to Maher’s need to never question a joke and seem too cool to be offended. He got played on national TV by Milo Yiannopoulos. That’s the guy you want me to take seriously.

Add in his career-long misogyny, the Islamophobia, the dopey undergrad hot takes on religion that he was actually self-impressed with enough to make an epically stupid documentary about–yeah, it is in* vogue to hate on Bill Maher, because Bill Maher is not just a long-known asshole with a pedestrian grasp on politics that he treats like a maverick genius, but he betrayed even his self-branded authority in the way he rolled over like a puppy for, again, Milo freaking Yiannopoulos.

Yes, I knew who Milo was before the Maher business. I first learned about him from Gamergate and have been keeping vague tabs on all the awful shit he does since.

It’s just striking to see information transition from knowledge held by a select few to public knowledge. And this tape wasn’t leaked to the press, this is shit he’s said publicly some years ago. Why did it become a thing now? The CPAC gig? The Bill Maher appearance? Why does some horrible information (that is completely verifiable) stay in the dark and why does some horrible information get revealed?

It was more of a vague pondering on the mysteries of the media then it was a I Knew It First declaration. Though, to be clear, I did know it first.

Like, what will it take before Paul Ryan lying about his body fat and his marathon times disqualifies him from being taken seriously as The Conservative Intellectual?

Nice post, appreciate you sharing it. I have a friend at Vice who, when doing a profile of Coulter a couple years ago, was telling my gf and I about this obnoxious British guy who had a hand in the PP videos was tagging along and trying way too hard.

EVERYONE: MILO ALSO SAID THAT 13 and 28 year olds (like him and a drag queen were) can have perfectly consensual sex! START AT 55:40! and he repeats this at 58:30. Check out the rest of the podcast though, he says other creepy stuff ..[www.youtube.com]

I mean, CPAC are the same people that elected an avowed sexual predator. Did anyone really think they would care what Milo said? CPAC thought that since he was gay that they could use that to show how much “Conservatives” are open to the gay lifestyle, but they failed to realize that just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you can’t be a complete, loony shit-bird.
Although I do love the position this puts CPAC in. Either they have to keep him to show solidarity to a man who (even jokingly) endorses pedophilia, or they have to disinvite him and risk hindering his right to free speech just like those liberal elites. They’re between a cock and a hard place.

Can’t make this shit up. People defending him on Twitter by suggesting that maybe the law shouldn’t be applied the same way if the teenage boy consents. These are the same people who would scream “ILLEGAL” in the face of an innocent mother because she’s undocumented.

Worse still, these are the same people that try to enforce dated and barbaric transgendered bathroom laws (i.e. you have to go where your biological gender assigns you) because we have to “protect the children.” If there’s ever a show of hypocrisy and political agenda, this is it. They should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

“We love the children and women!”
“then let have the choice to do what they want with their bodies. and let those who cannot afford to take care of their children have government aid and let the government pay for their healthcare”
“nah fuck that”

@Charles Bronson is responsible for protecting the thousands of predators in the Catholic Church who continue to prey on innocent lives. I don’t give two shits about this Milo jerk off and whatever political gain people seek to make off him, from the right or left. He’s just a tool. Faux outrage from the right because his “free speech” rights were being violated or from the left because he promotes pedophilia. You people don’t give a rats ass about the real problems in the world, just your agenda, right or left. The Pope and his Church are responsible for thousands of Milo’s but nobody gives a shit because it doesn’t promote their agenda.

@Bawk “Faux outrage from the right because his “free speech” rights were being violated or from the left because he promotes pedophilia. You people don’t give a rats ass about the real problems in the world, just your agenda, right or left.”

This is projection from a sad loser, plain and simple.

When he shows up on campuses and puts lives at danger revealing transgender identities without consent, I actually care. Like, not in the way that losers like yourself surf around the internet in search of political capital. Like, practical real-world caring.

Take your dumb white-guy nihilism and shove it up your ass–the world around you is not as dark and sad as you are.

@bsmemorial45 I’m surfing the internet says the guy who registered at Uproxx just to comment on this. White-guy? Are you like racially psychic? And your like a practical real-world carer, you got that going for you, which is nice. Keep on caring my brother.

@Bawk you are not educating anyone on the catholic church here man. I get your point but it is irrelevant to the convo. This is what is happening and why we are talking about it. you want to raise awareness about other stuff go for it but the joke fell flat.

This is what fake conservatism gets you. When you mindlessly worship a reactionary whose incessant fucking whining is projected as strength, he’ll eventually say something indefensible. Now, simply because these MAGA chuds refuse to admit they’re not really conservatives and only oppose liberalism, they find themselves standing up for someone who advocates pedophilia. Way to go, guys. You really triggered those libs.

i’ve been saying for a while i don’t get the hype about this prick. He’s nothing but ann coulter with a dick and people have been propping him up as this big deal. Fuck Milo and anyone that fucks with him.

Hey, look at these guys, not getting why a guy siccing racist followers on Leslie Jones in public and threatening to reveal transgender identities to his supporters–putting them at great physical risk is such a big deal!

LOL you said “triggers”! I get it! Because caring about stuff is embarrassing and for cucks, so you’d rather be on the internet yucking it up about a guy advocating underage sex and anointing himself the arbiter of capability!

Did you watch the entire podcast? It’s not just the joke dude, he spends 10 minutes discussing how if a 13 year old has developed early and consents, then it’s fine for a 28 year old to have a relationship with him.

@murphyface Did you read my post? I’m not defending him, just pointing out that the priest quip was a joke.

@Charles Bronson It’s not a funny joke, and yes, he’s a troll that takes advantage of his personal demographics to say outlandish shit. Getting offended by him and provoking reactions that protest his right to free speech is Milo’s way of instigating the PC crowd, which benefits his agenda.

If anyone in their right mind believes Milo is somehow protecting pedo-scum they need their head read. The vast majority of these people hate Milo and have hated him for a long time. Those of us who actually listen to the entire recording and not just cherry picked pieces designed to smear already know Milo never endorses pedophilia. He talked of his ‘coming of age’ story and made a couple of jokes in bad taste. To all those who are wetting themselves at the prospect of Milo being banned, you are just going to have to keep waiting as this doctored audio just doesn’t hold water and everyone can see.
Just so you know, I was molested at six years old, so I know the fury and outrage an act like that causes, and brother this audio just doesn’t cut the mustard. An obvious ‘hit piece ‘.

How exactly was the audio doctored? “They’re being unfair to me by quoting my own words verbatim!” -Standard Right Wing dipshit defense. Just because Trump gets away with doing it doesn’t mean it’s going to work for all of you puss-filled cunts on the Alt Right. Glad to know that you guys are adding “Defense of child rape” to your deplorable to-do list.

He’s like a minstrel show version of a gay man at this point. I guess I should be thankful pedophile is still a Nono in right wing circles? (Where being an actual Nazi will get you a 500,000 book deal and a speaking gig at CPAC).

The sad thing is Milo will now be used to support the idea that LBGT support child touching, among idiots who would think this way.

hmmm I wonder how many of the pieces of garbage in here defending this c*nt are the same people crying their eyes out about transgender people being allowed to use a bathroom. Bunch of hypocritical shitheads.

Can Milo just fucking die in an auto-erotic asphyxiation accident already? Also I’m now convinced that if Donald Trump raped an 8-year old girl on live TV, that his supporters would collectively find a way to rationalize it. We’ve reached the fucking point in this country where “raping kids” is now something that we have to choose sides on based on politics.
